Book Synopsis
Jose Saramago was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1998, the first writer in Portuguese to receive the world's most prized literary award. This book covers both his acclaimed historically-based fictions and his, allegorical works, demonstrating the continuity of thought and image between these two phases of the writer's career.

Trade Review
'David Frier has done a great service to the field by publishing the first book in English on Nobel Prize winner Jose Saramago. Frier has written a highly readable and engaging analysis of an author who has long deserved a critical volume in English. His book provides a sensitive and comprehensive reading of Saramago's major novels and is a necessary reference for anyone who studies or teaches his works.' Darlene J. Sadler, Bulletin of Spanish Studies, LXXXV (2008)
